Bari-Uma Ramen, Jaya Shopping Centre

Hello! 

This is a bit late but better late than never. 

It was le boyfriend's birthday and he decided on Ramen for his birthday dinner. We wanted to try something new as well so we opted for Bari-Uma Ramen at Jaya Shopping Centre after looking at several blog posts on Top Ramen in KL. 

The ramen shop is located inside the mall so just park inside the building since it's pretty jam in that area.

So sorry guys but I was willing a little unwell at the time so I might be a bit biased. 

The interior was the typical Japanese setting with the daiso tea cups with the sakura on it. I wonder why a lot of places opt for daiso stuff...is it cheaper?? Anyway, there weren't a lot of people there that night. 

Looking at the menu, we ordered ramen, gyoza and yakitori! I was quite surprised that they had yakitori so it was a must try. Le boyfriend had a Noritama-Uma Ramen while I had a Kara-Uma Ramen which was the spicy version. 

Kara-Uma Ramen (RM26)

Noritama-Uma Ramen (RM29)

Presentation wise, it was nice but taste wise...it was a totally different taste compared to the usual ramens you get at Marutama or Ippudo. The char siu tasted like the typical siu yok (roast pork) you get at chicken rice shops. Moving onto the broth...all I can say is that it did not taste like the typical ramen broth and I was not impressed. 

Gyoza (RM11)

The gyoza was sub par while the yakitori was depressing. They basically chopped meat and vegetables and skewered them. You can tell by now how disappointed I was with the food. 

Green Tea & Black Sesame Ice cream (RM7.90 each)

At the end, we also ordered ice cream cause what could go wrong. Rite? The ice cream was obviously untouched for a very long time judging by how much ice crystals there were on top and inside the scoop. 

My verdict? Never going back again. If you want to try something different then go ahead but really not my thing. 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Rocku Yakiniku, Pavilion

Yo peeps! 

This post is a bit overdue but I'll try to explain the juiciness as best as I can remember! =)

Rocku Yakiniku...now where to start...ah yes! You all know what barbeque rite but did yoi know that there are different ways to have barbeque? Rocku Yakiniku is a Japanese style barbeque joint that uses hot coals and a barbwire grill. 

The line into the restaurant on the 6th floor of Pavilion was extremely long! Remember to make a booking if you don't want to wait 30 minutes or more. 

The staff will bring a pot of coal and place it under the wire once you've ordered. There will be a an order sheet on the table for you to tick what kind of meat you would like. Since they use coal to cook the meat, it is on a 70 minute time limit so eat as much as you can...FAST! 

Vegetables and sauces can be found at the buffet area...not much to choose from but I like grilled capsicum and pumpkin! I also question the inclusion of apples...i tried to make grilled apples but it was a little too late by the time I had enough space to grill it...

We had a portion of all the meat to try since it was our first time there and we didn't know how big the portions were. As a pork lover...love it!!! Gotta go again one day to experiment marinating sauces! Le boyfriend is good at that! 

The overall grill size is pretty small but it cooks quite fast especially at the beginning when the coal is at its hottest so remember to keep an eye on it! 

We also called a few bottles of Kirin! There was a beer girl walking around the restaurant so be on the look out for her for she may have promotional beers to give out! 

That's all for this post...sorey if it wasn't as juicy as I said it would be but I must admit that it was quite good albeit a bit expensive! 

Shall leave you guys with some pics of us! That's it for this post!
Cheers!
